KUALA LUMPUR: Federal police have started an investigation after a video showing seven policemen enjoying themselves inside an entertainment outlet in Johor went viral.

It is understood that the policemen are from the Muar police district in Johor. It is also learnt that one of the cops is an inspector who heads the Pagoh police station.

The video, which features the inspector, a corporal, four lance corporals, and a detective corporal, went viral on social media at about 5.30pm on Sunday.

One of the lance corporals and the detective corporal are attached to the policeâs Secret Society, Gaming and Vice Division (D7), while the corporal and three other lance corporals are members of a task force.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun said he is awaiting a full report from Johor police chief Datuk Mohd Khalil Kader on the video recording.

âA thorough investigation will be conducted and action will be taken if the policemen have breached the law,â he said when contacted by Bernama News Channel here tonight.

He also said he has directed the Bukit Aman Integrity and Standard Compliance Department to investigate and scrutinise the validity of the matter.

The eight-second video went viral after it was uploaded by a Facebook account user Jia Xing Chen with the title, âPolice personnel entertaining themselves at nightclub with gambling taukehâ.

Meanwhile, Mohd Khalil has ordered the seven policemen to be transferred out until the investigations are concluded.--BERNAMA
